How to Make a Visitor Leave Breathless Part 1

And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to prove Solomon with difficult questions at Jerusalem, with a very great company, and camels that bare spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart. And Solomon told her all her questions: and there was nothing hid from Solomon which he told her not. And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built, and the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel; his cupbearers also, and their apparel; and his ascent by which he went up into the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her (2Ch 9:1-4).

JERUSALEM - After the death of David, Solomon built the temple, a house for the name of the Lord, on Mount Moriah (1010 B.C.). He also greatly strengthened and adorned the city, and it became the great centre of all the civil and religious affairs of the nation.

Sheba undertook a journey to Jerusalem to convince herself of the truth of the report of Solomon:

Jerusalem – House of God

1) Heard of his Fame

Not the Name of God

Not the Glory of God

But belonging to the name of God

Wisdom - Biblical wisdom is that man should humble himself before God in reverence and worship, obedient to his commands.

2) Tested Him of his Fame

The Lord had planted himself so deep into Solomon that the Queen of Sheba had to come with riddles to put his wisdom through a test.

Riddle – Is a pointed saying which hints at the deeper truth and leave it to be guessed.
